Review of Religions

   On Friday, we were supposed to take a test on all five of the religions that we have been talking about in the last few classes. Instead of taking the test, like we were supposed to, we went over all of the main religions again. We got the basic facts that we needed to know for the test. It was a review for most of the religions but some stuff I didn't know. For example, I didn't know the exact number of Christians in the world. There are about 2.2 billion of Christians in the world. Also, I didn't know that there is the "Eightfold Path" in Buddhism. The Eightfold Path consists of the right of: view, intention, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and dedication. Another thing that I didn't know was that the Hindus' holy book is called the Vedas. It is made of the eternal truths that are revealed to ancient sages and is written in verse form.
